Happens from time to time 'round here... . . ....incredibly, there are times when Psillies actually have lives to live, and things that need tending to outside of this thread. Like, family concerns, jobs.... . ....we don't like this kind of thing to carry on too long, however....our priorities all lie here, of course....

Or in my case, sheer laziness.

Well, I'm five hours behind you, Gnick, and three ahead o' you, Ptaoughmmn... .. ..guess I'm right kinda in the middle. Strategically, I believe there is NO advantage to being where I am.

Well.... . . ....we have maple syrup...and fantastic beer. However, I can have neither of them...

Gnick! You have a ban on hose pipe use over there?? What is a hose pipe? Like, a regular garden hose?. .. ..... . ...and why can't you water things if there has been so much rain -- wouldn't there be a bloody surplus of the stuff?

11 year-old Son had negative blood panel, but went on gluten-free diet of his own volition to see if his concentration would improve, his temper abate, and his energy level would increase. Miraculous response!

Bet yer English country gardens look beautiful!

T'is a paradox indeed Emmel!

It's been one of the driest winters on record, the reservoirs have run low and so a (garden) hosepipe ban was put in place. As soon as this was in place it rained virtually EVERY day in April (it's still not enough though to top up the reservoirs for our water supply )

SOoo, as the ground is so dry & unporous, the heavy rain has just run off of it causing flash floods.

Fascinating eh?

These barley gluten-free beers are hard to explain to Hub. He happily goes off on his errand to the beer store. He, ever on the look out for a new, improved gluten-free beer, might bring one of these home. But They say " gluten-free"!

Yes honey, and they achieved their goal - you bought it.

In my world, the babies, including Dufus Drumstick the turkey have all managed to get themselves up the ramp and into the coop. Yay!! I was tired of chasing peeping babies around trying to get them up to bed while their frantic mom ran up and down the ramp trying to get them up to follow her. Sadly, Brine, the other turkey, didn't make it. I think the feed store sold me a sick bird, as he went pretty quickly.

If'n yer bored, check out the pic of Seuss, soggy and filthy, on fb. I laugh at him every time I go out, and he's getting pretty miffed at me.
